Matthias Helferich (born 14 October 1988) is a German right-wing politician for the Alternative for Germany party.[1] He has been a factionless member of the Bundestag since 2021.[2] In 2025, he was re-admitted to the AfD parliamentary group like the fellow controversial politician Maximilian Krah.[3][4]

Career

[edit]

Helferich was born in 1988 in Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. He served at Bundeswehr in guard unit (Wachbataillon) in Siegburg and begann to study 2009 law at University Bonn.

Helferich was elected to the Bundestag in 2021.[2] Although a party member of AfD, he never entered the party faction and is currently a factionless member of the Bundestag.

Within the AfD, Helferich is part of the ethnic-national wing under Björn Höcke.[5]

In 2025, he was re-admitted back into the AfD faction.[3][4]

Political views

[edit]

Helferich called himself a "democratic Freisler", referring to a Nazi-era judge.[6] He later said that his statements were meant as parody: "If you are confronted with Nazi accusations as frequently as AfD politicians, you compensate for that in private spheres. You ridicule it."[7][8][9]
